Sapropterin
A synthetic form of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), the natural cofactor of the enzyme that breaks down phenylalanine: approved in the United States in 2007, it helps some patients with phenylketonuria lower its blood levels. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.
Did you know?The name 'pterin' comes from the Greek pteron, wing: Frederick Gowland Hopkins studied these yellow pigments in butterfly wings as early as 1889, and in 1924 xanthopterin was isolated pure from brimstone butterfly wings (Gonepteryx rhamni).
